Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter To Begin Immediate Negotiations For Jacobs

Guy who KO'ed Jacobs ducked GGG and retired... That tells everything...

Their is no truth whatsoever to that.

Both are scrubs. Stevens was getting smacked around by bums from the Contender, and Lemieux was getting smacked around by Marco Antonio Rubio. It is sad that people are even touting Lemieux and Stevens as quality opposition.

Good wins, nothing more. Geale is GGG's best win to date.

Pirog jumped out from GGG fight in 2012... GGG would have brutalized him.

So in 30 days it goes to purse bid? And if he vacates, what's the time frame for that?

Jumped out? He got stripped of the WBO title for not fighting his mandatory (N'Dam) to take that fight, got injured training and hasn't fought since. He definitely wanted that fight.

There was also the little issue of a career ending injury

Nice story doe

This fight is garbage and Jacob is c class bum don't know why people keep trying to make Jacob the ggg killer. Jacobs power is overrated nothing that ggg hasn't seen in David or Steven fights. Ggg is going to **** Jacob, don't mind seeing this mismatch just so people that don't know boxing shut the hell up when Jacob gets emrassesd

If you stay within the context of the post, some casual fan said GGG hasn't fought anyone with power which I corrected with my response. Your womanlike tendency to change the subject and make it about something it initially wasn't is exactly why nsb is in the ****ter.

Such angry ******s on here.

1). Golovkin was negotiating with Eubank jr. That was the exact same deal in place for Eubank. Eddie Hearn worked out the deal with the UK Networks, which is where the money comes from; the promoters aren't paying guys out of pocket. The fights are worth as much as the networks are willing to pay or generate from PPV. Eubank wouldn't sign the exact same deal, Eddie Hearn who is the promoter of both Brook and Eubank, offered K2 Brook instead and they took it. They both get ~$5 million dollars because that's what the market in the UK allowed for a Golovkin fight (Brook sure as hell wasn't making $5 million against Frankie Gavin and the likes and he got $200k against Shawn Porter in Cali).

2). Golovkin is from Kazakhstan, anywhere he fights is going to be "away from his home" since Kazakhstan doesn't have a boxing market in place. There is no money in pro boxing there.

3). What Jacobs is worth is whatever the networks will pay him. That isn't dictated by Golovkin it's dictated by the market. Obviously there is more money fighting UK fighters in the UK than in the US. It isn't rocket science here. Unless you're a superstar like Mayweather, Pacquiao or Canelo, it's almost always going to be more money fighting a UK star in the UK vs the US. If Deontay Wilder fights Tyson Fury, where do you think the money is going to be? Alabama? Or Manchester? Golovkin could have fought Brook in New York or Cali, but why sell yourself short when Brook is a star in the UK and virtually unknown in the US? This is basic common sense, which apparently you guys lack.

4). As for GGG fans and Jacobs, no one cares about how much Jacobs can make, all anyone cares about is the fight actually happening. If Jacobs wants a similar Brook $5 million dollar type of deal, then he needs to go back in time and be reborn in Britain and have a British fanbase. Otherwise he simply cannot make that kind of money, US Boxing isn't what it used to be. Guys who are barely known don't make $5 million. Timothy Bradley made $6 million in his biggest paycheck of his career against Pacquiao III, and that's against boxings second biggest star with Bradley being one of the most known boxing names in America. Maidana made a career-high $3 million in his rematch with Mayweather, the sports biggest star by far, and this was after giving Floyd a hell of a first fight and whooping Broner that spread all over social media for months and months. So how the hell can anyone rationally argue that someone like Jacobs can get $4-$5 million against Golovkin when he's not even close to being as known as these guys against an opponent who isn't anything close as popular as Mayweather and Pacquiao? Can you guys try to at least use your heads?

If you guys can come up with recent examples of American guys like Jacobs earning $3 - $6 million let's see it. Terrance Crawford is probably the closest you can find and its not even an argument that he's a much bigger star than Danny Jacobs and he got $1.3 million, the biggest of his career on PPV. If Jacobs can get more than $3 million, that's great for him I just don't see how that's realistic in today's boxing.

You keep talking about money when it comes to pussie g this that and the third. By that same logic don't say a fuucking thing when Canelo flexes on pussie g the way he has been. This is the exact reason I don't give a fuuck that Canelo is talking shyt about pussie g and how he is the MUCH bigger draw.

Pussie g fans get MIGHTY upset when Canelo pulls rank though. Fuuck pussie g until he grows nuts and fights a real one- Lara, DeGale, Ward the Dirrell brothers, or even Jacobs. Dude is a fuucking pussie at 34 going on 35 with a pathetic resume- AND those guys I named would happily fight his punk ass so don't give me that shyt of he can't get great fighters.
